Planting roses
 
November is the ideal time to plant roses.  Before planting, soak the roots in a bucket of water for about an hour. Trim off any flower buds, twiggy shoots and damaged roots. Dig a hole deep and wide enough to contain the roots and about 1 inch of green stem. Add some rose fertiliser into the hole and carefully hold the rose at the correct height whilst backfilling with soil.
 
Climbing and rambling roses should be planted at least 15 inches from walls and angled slightly towards it. Tie stems loosely onto wire or wooden supports on the wall.
